Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hi folks,

things went well and faster than i thought so that I can already announce
the first preview of the Delphi version of the headers.

I'm still working on the conversion of the demoplug plugin to get things
started as easy as possible.

Feel free to test things by yourself. It should be possible to write basic
plugins for testing.

Critics, basic error reportings, etc. are very welcome!

Attached is an updated Delphi version of SDK for Altap Salamader. It corresponds to version 2.53 (PB 44). It contains only conversion of headers, not comments, resources etc. (you can find comments and additional information in the original Altap Salamader SDK).

Notice: I use this SDK for only for my own plugins, mostly viewers, so I cannot guarantee the headers for file system, archivers, thumbnails etc. Good luck

Hello,

please, can You post sample code with plugin initialization (so it can be detected and loaded by Salamander) developed in this converted SDK?. I can't create a working version

Thanks

I use this SDK for all of my plugins. Most of implementation is shared between them. So it is written very generic. I'm not sure if it would be helpful for you...

Please consider using free Visual C++ Express for a new projects. It is recommended way how to build Altap Salamander plugins, including x64 versions.

Hello Jan,
I'm currently writing in Visual C++ 2010 My plugin implementation is relative easy and almost done, but I'm not a big C/C++ fan (specially in UI development) ... so just trying another way

BTW: Lazarus/FreePascal can compile x64 code and provided "Delphi SDK" is compatible

OK

Does Lazarus/FreePascal work with Delphi conversion of AS SDK?

Yes it does. I've created sample project with those converted files and it compiled succesfully. FreePascal knows Delphi syntax dialect.

But I can't get to work sample with basic exported functions consumed by Altap Salamander - SalamanderPluginEntry(), etc.

Please post your email address here. I will send a sample code to you.

You can also use Private Message for email exchange.

Contact sent in private message. Thanks!

Any chance to get updated Delphi SDK for the latest AS version? Or there is no need to update existing one?

I would be interested in the update as well.
